Framework 2.0 Beta 2 serializing a server control at run time

[JPHILIP]

How can I persist a server control to aspx code at run time in Framework 2.0
Beta 2.
This can be done at design time with the ControlPersister.PersistControl
method.
The DesignSurface class provides a way to load components into a self
contained design time environement that should provide access to the
ControlPersister class. I foujd how to load a Windows form in it, but not a
Web Form.
Any Idea?

You must make use of ViewState.

PersistControl is not meant for direct use. It's to be used by designer
/ runtime.

btw, I assume that persisting to aspx-code means in view-state. Or am I
mistaken? Please clarify in case I've a wrong understanding of your
problem.

I found a solution, PersistControl needs an implementation of the
IDesignerHost interface to work properly, so I wrote one with fonctionality
limited to what PersistControl needs to work.
I had to deassemble the private control serializer to find what it needed
and it works.

In anycase, why would you want to take it up yourself. Let the runtime
do it for you....
